Question

I’m designing a custom product page with a button that when clicked I need to have an alert come up with a “Yes” or “No” option.

If “Yes” is selected I then need the following to happen.

Add another product into the cart based on the products quantity i.e. between 1 & 2 items add product A between 3 & 4 Items product B, between 5 & 12 product C and so on.

Any idea of the best way to accomplish this?

It has to be a alert style popup (ajax popup preferred) cannot be a checkbox on the product page.

Thanks!

Answer 1

So I’ve come across a solution to my problem… I’m using a Simple Modal (That TheBlackBenzKid hinted me to) that I’m either going to call from a custom button or with the add to cart button. This in turn will redirect to a php page that will redirect to the cart. For the php page I’ll just include the code to put a item into the cart from there anyone could figure out how to customize it to there own needs.

<?php
// Include Magento application (URL to Mage.php)
require_once ( "app/Mage.php" );
umask(0);

//specified quantity my own variable I'm using for quantities
$spqty = 9;

// Initialize Magento
Mage::app("default");

// You have two options here,
// "frontend" for frontend session or "adminhtml" for admin session
Mage::getSingleton("core/session", array("name" => "frontend"));


$session = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session");

// get the current Magento cart
$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');


if ($spqty <= 2) {

// insert item to cart where "98" is the product ID (NOT SKU!) Where "2" is the quantity
$cart->addProduct(98, array('qty' => 2));


} elseif ($spqty >= 4 ){

// you can add multiple products at the same time by adding this line multiple times
$cart->addProduct(96, array('qty' => 3));

}

// save the cart
$cart->save();

// very straightforward, set the cart as updated
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setCartWasUpdated(true);


// redirect to index.php
header("Location: index.php/checkout/cart");

I also found some of this information from this guys blog I’ll link to the article
